A recent survey shows that the health of the students in our school has been going from bad to worse in the past three years. It’s shocking that 92.5 percent of us are nearsighted now, compared to 78.20% in 2005, which was already worrying. The same is true for students’ sleeping condition. Nine students out of ten suffer from a lack of sleep at present.

　　There’re another two facts that shouldn’t be ignored. Two years ago, about one third of the students were in the trouble of overweight, and less than one third of them had problems in mental health. However, both numbers have risen to 50% or so within the past two years.

　　In view of the serious health condition, immediate steps should be taken before it’s too late. To begin with, the amount of homework should be properly controlled. Moreover, school should provide students with necessary knowledge on health and satisfy their needs for recreation. It is equally important that students should get rid of their unhealthy habits, become more efficient in their study and lead a healthy life.
